When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.

Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 56 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (14 children)

Yes.

-Instagram has pixelfed. -Reddit has lemmy -X has Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma (&forks..) -Tiktok has loops (app still super rough around the edges and sadly on limited to one instance rather than having its own software from what i understand) -Youtube has peertube (so far the least used i think)

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Is there federated Tumblr? @Newbuild@lemmy.nz is still on Tumblr and drag wants to get thing away from corporate media even if Tumblr has a better record than literally every other corpo media

Sorry, genuinely forgot what tumblr even does/is lol.

I dont understand how to join or post on peertube, its the most confusing, do you host your own, is there a feed of all the servers?

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 6 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

You just pick an instance and join it, sadly i don't think it has enough federation yet so its entirely possible u just chose a bad instance and have amazing creators sitting on other instances yours isn't federated with

My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.

And pro tip: Post and tag a cute picture of your pet and people will see your account.

They need some starter packs like BlueSky because all I’m seeing are some art photography highly likely ai generated - and I have no idea where to find content that has any value. On searching the hashtags I’m getting mastodon posts containing links that can’t be clicked.

People like looking at photos of food and cats more than being railed for having "incorrect* political viewpoints? (/s for anyone not picking up on that btw:-P)

I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities. People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse... Sometimes I wonder why I still bother here.

[–] occultist8128@infosec.pub 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

i just hate the way most people here assume everyone is coming from US smh

Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.

One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

There was a github request to integrate lbry into fedi, but it never gained any traction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse#/media/File:A_view_into_the_Fediverse.png

So, no, they're not in the fediverse and don't interconnect with the other players.

Here are the current places that play well together.

Odysee had a shot at making it bigger than it was, but it's really drowning in bad (moral and qualty) content. They never really recovered from their crypto scheme, once the SEC started looking into them, they got screwed. I'm down with the idea of paying creators in crypto, but they were selling it as a security.

fuck it, I tried mastodon, I'll give pixelfed a try too.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 1 points 13 hours ago

Same, just created an account on metapixl.com even though I never used Instagram before

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 16 hours ago

I’m uploading shit daily. At least I’ll keep your feed busy.

Me.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 10 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.

I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from

I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.

I posted this earlier in the thread:

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago

Yeah dude me obviously. @mayur@pixelfed.social

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 61 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (31 children)

If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.

Is there any integration with Lemmy? Cross promotion would be awesome, and something big tech can’t actually do.

I am but a humble end user using the web interface, but I do know mastodon comments can somehow show up on Lemmy.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hello from Mastodon.

All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

I'm not sure about Lemmy, but I found this post to be a good explanation of how Pixelfed interacts with Mastodon.

Based on what it says there, I wouldn't really expect it to play-nice with Lemmy though. We might be able to access Pixelfed posts here on Lemmy, but almost certainly not the other way around - because Pixelfed requires an image in every post.
